《Diego OLIVEIRA》
"I think the goal scene was a fast-paced play, and I am grateful for the wonderful through pass that came to me from Adailton."

(What was lacking to turn the game around)
"Kobe is also a wonderful team, and it was a difficult match in terms of development.
"After equalizing in the second half, we had several chances but couldn't convert them, and I want to correct that point."

Kensuke NAGAI
(What I was conscious of when entering the pitch)
"First, to give the team some momentum."
I thought that if we could score one more goal, our chances would widen, so I played with that in mind.

(Looking back at the goal scene)
"The rebound from Adailton's shot came to me, so I was able to calmly put it into the goal."

(About my condition)
"My condition has improved quite a bit."
I want to do strength training on the injured part of my arm and improve my condition.

(Came on as a substitute and formed a two-top with Diego, but the coordination is)
"I have been playing with Diego for a long time.
I believe that depending on the situation of the match, it is not a problem to play with two forwards as we did today.
We understand each other's strengths, and I think we can work well together because we can cover each other while defending from the front.

"The start of today's match was not good either."
I approached the match with the feeling that 'we can do this' but often, when you think 'we can do this', things don't go as smoothly as expected.
Kobe simply aimed for the back, and I thought we needed to be cautious about that from before the match. However, we were played with as they pleased from the first half, and we couldn't quite find our rhythm.
We need to make sure to handle the beginning of the match properly from now on.
I think it is very positive that we caught up to a tie.
Since we had not been able to score during the flow of the game, I believe that if strikers Diego and Kensuke can score, the team will gain momentum. Therefore, I think it was a very significant result that they scored in a good way today.
In the second half, the game became stretched and it was uncertain which way it would go, but this time we were the ones who were scored against first. I think it is quite difficult to achieve a comeback victory in two consecutive matches.
I feel that we must continue to focus on scoring the first goal.
We will face Oita in three days. Since there is also travel to the away game, I want to make sure to prepare and get in good condition.

(Regarding the return of Diego OLIVEIRA and Nagai during this period)
"Diego had shown good signs since the last match.
Today I started on the bench, but in a difficult situation where we were losing, I brought on two players.
I think it's very positive that the attacking line has started to score goals.
Nagai's comeback from surgery and Diego's recovery from a serious ACL injury have energized the team. I believe that when someone steps up, it revitalizes those around them. In the last match, Tagawa scored in a gritty manner, so I think it's very positive that we saw goals from the front line today as well.

《Kobe - Summary of the Press Conference with Coach Atsuhiro MIURA》
I think the start of the match was very good.
Especially in the first half, we were able to execute our attack and defense as planned. Of course, in the second half, after going 2-0, we conceded two goals, and the opponent had momentum, but I thought that if we didn't properly improve on those conceded goals, it would be a difficult match. Even in tough situations, we were able to secure the win, and the players who came on as substitutes also showed their strength, making it a very good game.

(After taking a 2-point lead, we were caught up in a short time)
"Of course, the area where we conceded goals is a point for improvement."
After all, it is fundamental, but we must properly slide while doing challenge & cover.
If we slack off even a little, the players of FC Tokyo, who have individual strength, will be given a big opportunity, so we need to improve on that.
